Is Shielding more important after Vocation Rebalance?

I have a level 139 knight which healed around 100hp with Exura Ico (sometimes 80, sometimes 120) before the Rebalance, now it healed around 300 with Exura Ico (sometimes 260, sometimes 340). So it's twice as long of a cooldown, but heals three times as much, which is great. Is that how it's been for everyone else, that you heal more with your heals even when accounting for the 2 second cooldown? And do people focus more on raising their Shielding now to heal more?

Also, is "Shielding scaling with healing" only a Knight thing or do the other vocations also benefit from more Shielding when it comes to healing?

Also also, does Monk benefit at all from Shielding when all their weapons are two handed?

Made a Rookstayer, have some questions

I just made a Rookstayer the other day, Rook is probably the most nostalgic thing for me in the game. I have some questions though since a lot has changed since I last played in Rook.

  1. Rookstayers still need to eat to regenerate HP, but I noticed that my health just randomly went from Red to Green once. I can't find any information about what caused that on the "Regeneration" wikipage, does anyone know how it works exactly?

  2. The weapons now have proficiency and I wonder, which is best, the "+5hp per kill" or the "+1% crit chance"?

  3. Is there a way to get a kitchen knife in Rook? Wondering if it's possible to get the achievement for putting fruit on cakes~ In the same vein, is there a cookie tray in Rook?

  4. Do people still use that flower from the Wasp Tower to block monsters, because it weighs less than boxes?

Does all party members recieve BP?

Even ones not yet unlocked? I'm afraid of gathering and exploring, filling collctopedia etc before getting all characters unlocked in case I'm losing out of giving them the BPs that I get from doing those activities

Switch 2 cartridge, does it include patches?

On the Switch 2 Edition cartridges of games like BotW, Xenoblade etc, does it have the full game including all the patches the game recieved throughout the years it was on Switch 1?

Or is it just the same 1.0.0 game as on the Switch 1 cartridge but with enhanced visuals, and you need to download all the patches when you start the game?

Soft Boots or Exercise Rod?

I've made a new character (level 42 Druid) on a server where I got no other characters. I've managed to get 400k money, and with the upcoming double skill weekend I was wondering...

Should I buy Soft Boots for those 400k (I'm spending a lot of time making runes while doing other stuff than playing Tibia) or should I get one of those Exercise Weapons with 500 charges for 344k?

Which would be the better investment, what would give me more ML during the event?

Exura Sio Infir

Since they're removing UHs as a way of healing others, I really think they should give Druids a weakened Heal Friend spell.

Cip is clearly focusing a lot on the early experience for new players, with the Free Account expansion, Newhaven, Targuna and now the vocation rebalance to give the vocations a stronger individual identity.

But the whole "healer" identity of the Druid is mostly non-existant for new/facc players, and I think that would be an easy fix with a Sio infir. Or just let Druids be the only vocation that can use UHs on others!

I was watching an old video regarding training (old school style) and they mentioned that you have to wear a bad shield so that you take "spark" hits, because "smoke puff" hits doesn't raise your shielding skill.

And hearing that I also got reminded how I was told the same when I was a kid, that I needed a bad shield and take spark or bleed hits to gain shielding.

But I'm pretty sure that's *not* how it works. I have an ironman character that I won't allow offline training on, and I've been training on Trolls and other weak monsters that *only* do smoke puffs on me, yet my shielding is higher than my melee, so smoke puffs clearly work.

So I'm generally just asking, did shielding change? Did it used to not level up on smoke puffs, or was that just some old misinformation that people spread back in the day?
